Astral Projection While Sleeping – Awakening With A Jolt!! – by Tana Hoy

If you're like most people, you've probably experienced waking up with a jolt. Did you know that this happens because you've been doing astral projection while you sleep, and were roaming around in the astral plane? The sudden involuntary jolt occurs when your astral body returns to your physical body after flying around out there!

Astrally Projecting From Your Body

You may have also noticed times when, just as you're drifting off to sleep, your arm or leg suddenly jerks? This happens because your astral body is trying to detach itself from your physical body but, for some reason, it cannot detach, and then suddenly snaps back into place.

These experiences are normal, because astral travel is a normal occurrence when you sleep.

What Is Astral Projection?

When you astral project, your astral body (an exact energy replica of your physical body) travels and explores the world, leaving your physical body behind. Your physical body has to be in a state of deep relaxation before your astral body can detach itself from it. Which is why you naturally astral project when you're asleep.

When your astral body successfully detaches itself from your physical body, you are able to go through walls, visit faraway places in an instant, and even meet angels, spirit guides, and the souls of those who passed away.

You may not always remember the experience, because your subconscious mind takes over, but with practice, you can become fully aware while traveling in the astral world, remembering your adventures while astral projecting.

The Difference Between Astral Projecting And Dreaming

When you're dreaming, you're subconscious mind processes thoughts that are already in your consciousness, such as memories, desires, wishes, and repressed emotions. For example, when having a lucid dream, you're aware that you're dreaming, and you're able to control what happens in your dream. But when you're astral projecting, your consciousness actually leaves your body to goes someplace else.

If you're wondering whether your nighttime experience was astral an astral travel, you can find the answer by thinking about the following questions:

• Do you remember floating up? Sometimes, when you astral project, you find yourself face-to-face with the ceiling, or even going through the roof.

• If you happened to look around, did you see your physical body sleeping below?

• As far as you can remember, were the objects around you functioning as they should For example, was the clock telling real time, or was the cat talking in a human language? In ordinary dreams, people, animals, and objects, show some form of behavior or actions that aren’t reality based.

• In your remembering, if you happened to walk into a room where your pet (if you have one) or someone you know was staying, did they react to your presence?

• Do you vividly remember flying? Sometimes, the sensation of flying is the only recollection you have of a nighttime experience, but this is one of the signs that you've astrally projected.

There are other ways to verify if you had an out-of-body experience, such as witnessing something happen that you couldn't have known about while asleep in your room, or while in the astral realm, meeting a friend who was also astral traveling, and having a conversation that later made sense.

Going Astral: An Extraordinary Experience

Astral projecting offers an extraordinary experience, since you are able to view both the physical world and the other spiritual realms. The astral world, after all, is like a doorway between the physical world and the higher dimensions.

Because there is no time and space in the astral world (as we normally view time and space in the physical world), you are able to visit any place that you want to in an instant. Such as the Eiffel Tower in France, meeting with your spirit guides, or even talking to your deceased loved ones.

Sometimes, however, when you suddenly realize that you're travelling outside your physical body, you become afraid or uncertain. This is when you suddenly snap back into your physical body, and you wake up with a jolt.
You can actually avoid this from happening by staying calm, and keeping your presence of mind as you travel outside of your body. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you will enjoy your astral travels even more.

In any case, the next time you wake up with a jolt, you know what had just happened – that you've been wandering about in the astral realm, exploring the world, and meeting souls and spirits!

I’ve experienced what I call hypnotic Jerks.I am a Empath and I’ve been super aware of people’s feelings/Emotions as long as I can remember.I can feel and read Energy.Ive foreseen things periodically all my life.I do have Abilities and have been trying to unlock and define what potential is present.I m aware what causes the jerks because they have happened before and do not scare me.I do not meditate everyday but the jerks started again last night as I fell asleep listening to meditation 3rd eye awakening music and beats.I was aware of why the jerks were happening while in this state. And there was a lot of them.I would jerk with a somewhat feeling of an electric shock the immediately relax only to jerk again and as I felt I was sinking into my bed into total relaxation I would jerk again.It felt like every five seconds with 3 to four jerks back to back.I realized at one point what I was seeing and wanted to wake and write down what I was seeing knowing I would forget within 30seconds of waking but I didn’t because I didn’t leave my journal by the bed last night and I knew/realized this in this state and just continued.I meditated last night and the day before because I’ve been having visions while I’m awake the last few weeks while I’m working. (This is not daydreaming)I have a sense of knowing alot of times.Im a very Humble person and do not usually message in this way.But I realize there is a reason for me finding this site and posting this.I may not understand it or maybe it will be revealed to me either way fear aside I wrote this.

Sometimes when I Visit any place of which I never thought I feel that I’ve seen this place before though I never visited it and Sometimes when an Incident occurs I feel that it occured before !! It occur 1 year before when I dont know what is astral projection Is it really a sign of Astral Projection !

I have been experiencing sudden jolts that send me into a panic. This has been going on for quite some time but lately they are getting worse. They happen every night and I fear going to sleep. They only happen within 20 minutes of falling asleep and will keep happening over an over with some being very bad where I wake up in sheer panic, heart racing so fast that I think I’m going to die. Then as I begin to wake up a bit, I realize that I will be ok but I am still shook over the experience. The only way I have found to minimize these events are if, after a particularly bad one, I wake up completely and stay awake for at least 15 minutes, usually eating something to make sure I wake up all the way.
I have talked to doctors and they have no idea what is causing this. Was told may be anxiety so I have tried anti-anxiety meds but they are not working for this. What you are talking about in this article seems to be something I have to consider, or possibly some other psychic event.

Hello! I’m 23 years old and I’ve been experiencing spiritual things since I was about 5 years old.
Growing up I’ve felt strong fields of energy negative/positive
I’ve seen spirits come through walls and shown pictures of who they may be which ended up being my great grandfather who passed before I was born.
I receive jolts every night for the past year and a cool breeze on my forehead I’ve been told many things but I’ve never meditated and I have a lack of understanding on some of this. I feel people’s pain from before I knew them which is odd help me learn! Thanks.

I’ve been having this awaking feeling for a momoment an always felt vibes or feeling around me An when I’m asleep I feel wide awake. I find myself searching for new things to tell me what’s going with me it’s a lil bit confuseing because I don’t know who to talk to about this An not be look at as weird

i have been trying to astral project for a while now, but i seem to only be able to do it when im asleep, i have been to India and america in my travels, I qwas in a temple in India and shopping in America.
And one of my friends woke to find me sat on the edge of his bed, although i don’t remember visiting him.
How can I get better at it during meditation?

In my dreams I often fall from hieghts and I have that wierd feeling and I wake up with a jolt.Sometimes I do things in my dream and people react to it and it seems real.I suddenly wake up and try to relax that it was just a dream.I’m not sure if I’m astral projecting or just dreaming.

Hi!
Last night I had a somewhat traumatizing moment.
I was asleep and I felt my “spirit” getting out of my body. I saw myself starting to float and my physical body was beneath me, but for me it felt like I was dying, because something was calling me and telling me to let go of my body. At first I wanted to go, but then I realized I was too young to die and I struggled and managed to return to the physical body. I even remember screaming for my mother during the “dream”. Can you help me interpret this? Was I simply dreaming or is this some kind of astral projection?
Thanks a lot!

Hey. I have exactly that feeling 2 years before and almost every night over a year. And I was afraid, and then I relies that when I relax it has gone, I screams to my mother too. And now a few days ago that feeling is back. But this time when I screams to my mother she was beside me and hold my hand. But when I relax( the strange is I can think like when I am awake you know?)I woke up its all gone. And I was scared. It was first time since one year before>

OK, I think I will record this while I have a memory of it. During my sleep last night I believe I have astral traveled.
I have never been to Australia, although I know people who live there ( school pals who emigrated there, business people I once worked for etc).
Anyway I found my self in Australia, in a town area that was not too big. I met there Sharon Gayle who was a co-owner of a business I once worked for.
‘Where are we’ I asked, ‘Naranga’ replied Sharon, ‘it is sort of central’ she said . Then after a few explorations around the place, I woke up at 05:17 just an hour and a half ago.
I decided to look this Naranga up, to see if it existed. Indeed I found a ‘Narangba’, with just the one word different. It is in Queensland, and is in the outlying area of Brisbane.
Now if it had been a big place like Sydney or Melbourne, I would have probably thought it just a very powerful dream, but it was so real, and the place being not very big at all, it was the proof to me. The whole thing had been so real.
Have you ever had anything like this happen to you?

Hello
I have had a few experiences that I want opinions on. Astral projection is not new to me and I have been visiting with recently deceased loved ones since I was a child. But I have two that I still wonder about. In one I was being led by someone down a trail or pathway as they were leading me somewhere somewhat quickly while also giving me a slight tour. I believe I was on a different planet or maybe dimension. The question for this one is on the side of the path there was a color that I have never seen before and I can not describe. It shone so bright I had to shield my eyes. The person guiding me asked what was wrong and I told them I had never seen anything like that before and it was blinding. It was beautiful and my human mind can’t comprehend what it was.rhe other time I wasn’t to ask about is where I also saw myself floating over my dog that I was traumatically separated from. When doing this it was raining outside and I was in Oakland, Ca. The dog was chained outside in the rain. When she saw me floating over her she kept cowering in fear as she was seemingly awake in our everyday reality. I tried to sooth her but she was so scared I just left heartbroken. Do you have any idea why she was scared? Was it just because I was floating or did I look strangely? She didn’t recognize me.

Hey, I astral project all the time. I can do it awake or asleep but asleep I really fly. Sometimes a have a “hard landing”. I had one more recently and realised there is an inner “lane” – your earth bound biological consciousness – and an “outer lane” where you have been……this time I was watching people with goggles watching a massive bright flash from the North…..they did not seem significantly alarmed though….so if you want to know where you have been focus on the outer “lane” .
